The setting : a nightclub in the tropics. The walls and seating covered in midnight blue velvetan albino tiger shark loops around a room-sized aquarium. What would you hear playing on the jukebox? Deconstructed blues, basement exotica wasteland rocksteady and Cuban sounds from outer space. Lorraine Exotica is King Automatic's 4th album - and without a doubt his most musically versatile record to date. He summons musical style from all four corners of the globe, his vocals are as self-assured as never before, his trademark live sampling and looping techniques are in place yet on Lorraine Exotica, there is a far greater diversity of flavours and shadings to be explored. Lorraine Exotica is a classic rock 'n roll record with a dash of pop sensibilities and more than just a hint of multi-ethnic influences.The end result is hypnotic, tribal and utterly danceable.

The King goes Exotica !!! inspired from tours trou the South of America and the East Of Europe the King took a big sniff of their Folk Music and mixed it up with his very own Unique AUTOMATIC SOUND , we can say the King is Todays One of thee best and Most Breathtaking (everybody who saw him live knows what im talking about) and Unique DANCE ONE MAN BANDS he mixes up French YEYE Garage Beat-Punk with Rude Boy Jamaican Rocksteady, Rhythm n Blues Exotica and Trash Rock'n'Roll.... how can you get wrong with that?

THE NOVEL SOUND (USA)The Man that Challenged the World: A review of the new King Automatic albumThe most difficult part of listening to King Automatic's new album Lorraine Exotica (Voodoo Rhythm), is getting past the first track. "King Outomatic from Auto Space"** is a full-on floor-stomper which sounds as though it's been beamed from an ancient alien relay station and rebounded through a set of bakelight speakers. It's an invasion of sound with no way to stop it. It commands you to hit repeat. After the third or fourth go-round, its nothing but explosive engines of sound waiting like reinforcements among the vinyl grooves.King Automatic has built a reputation on being the one-man band with a full sonic sound. Not only does he back himself up on organ, banjo, harmonica, etc, but he slides across genres with flawless ease creating danceable garage, fuzz-stained exotica, and Latin beats that sizzle with alien electricity. If it wasn't for a live show surrounded by loop machines and live samples, you'd swear he had rows of arms like something from a dingy back-galaxy cantina. Lorraine Exotica peels back like an alien egg sack revealing "La Vampira del Raval" and "Lorraine Exotica", songs layered in Latin roots and bringing a range of sounds not often connected to garage punk and even more rarely to one man bands. "Plan B (Adopt a Lapdancer)" (one the best song titles of 2015) slams down some Chicago style blues with an unmatched ferocity. "Lee Marvin" pays tribute to the actor in a song as bad-ass as he was and "All Crossed Out In Red", an ode to King Automatic's Ukrainian roots, is just as hypnotic and mesmerizing as anything label-mates The Dead Brothers have released.* This album makes no effort to play it cool for anyone. It expertly collects sounds from across the globe and brings it all together in a display of sheer talent and diversity.King Automatic knows how to rock in any language. This album isn't a test for your speakers – It's the fucking exam.
